<p>I have to take account the classes available too though to help me transfer. With one less math class to take at Fullerton, it seems like that has to be the college for me. I can't see how Santiago can beat Fullerton although the campus overall is nicer and newer. Am I allowed to mix up where I take my math classes?</p>
<p>I don't even know how I'd fit 6 classes on a schedule. Would using the AP test for Spanish and American History for credits at UCLA work for that IGETC?</p>
<p>You can go to both CCs and just meet whatever requirments you want from whichever CC. </p>
<p>I went to 5 CCs in my area in 3 districts.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can take classes at whatever ccs you want to complete the requirements. I believe the physics series has to be completed all at one cc though.</p>
<p>Is this a good Idea?<br>
For my summer classes. Starting 6/2 -7/2 I take Calculus AF at Fullerton College at night, Starting 6/23 -8/14 I take Engineering Physics 1 in the morning at Santiago where I'll take the majority if not the rest of my classes besides these math summer ones. Also starting 7/2 I take Calculus BF at Fullerton College at night.</p>
<p>Does this sound like a summer schedule or do I need to see a counselor? (More classes for some reason some how? I don't know why?)</p>
<p>Dang, that's that's a heavy summer load. I guess as long as you can keep your gpa up, that would be a very efficient plan.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, the average transfer for aerospace eng. had a 3.62 gpa in 2007
UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students</p>
<p>GoMiamiDolphins, if you can do all that and earn As, it's fine. Do whatever you want if you can earn As. But everyone with any common sense will tell you, you are setting yourself up for failure by overloading yourself.</p>
<p>These two calculus courses are equal to AP physics/ Calculus 150A&B at CSUF correct? Because that would mean I have already taken them, but that was a year ago and I have forgotten a lot of it plus I got C's both semesters. I do think Engineering Physics is going to be extremely difficult.<br>
So I feel like I'm only taking one class and just refreshing the other classes for a free gpa boost (or am I not allowed to do this).</p>

<p>You are setting yourself up for disaster. I don't understand why you want to do it that way. But you are obviously setting yourself up for disaster. You are trying to get an EDUCATION here. The human mind can only absorb so much information and learn so many skills at once. In addition, if you were smart, you'd be going BEYOND your CC courses, since the comparable courses at UCLA go beyond the depth covered at CC. The way you are structuring things, even if you do manage to eke out As, you are going to be ill-prepared.</p>
<p>GoMiamiDolphins- I dont get it, you went to CSUF and took Calc there, you can not just OMIT the fact that you took those courses, taking them over for a grade is stupid, that C is not going anywhere and you do have to send in your transcripts from CSUF when you apply to UCLA , you also have the consideration of unit maximums that will apply to you because you took courses in a 4 year.</p>
<p>I dont think the summer schedule is that bad, i took Chem w/Lab + calc 1 + eCon and got all As in the summer, it wasnt a big deal. You will only have 2 classes at a time. </p>
<p>What classes have you taken at CSUF - how many units do you have from there?</p>
<p>Malishka31 - did you take general chem over summer? I'm wondering because I'm debating taking it over the summer</p>
<p>I took the 1st part of a year long sequence, so i believe that would be General-</p>
<p>About the CSUF: My teacher had some sort of license thing that allows him to teach for CSUF although he is teaching at high school for AP Calculus. He also teaches at Fullerton College. So the only class I took at CSUF is Math 150A and Math 150B , the first calculus courses. I got two C's and 4 on the AP test. It has been a year now and I have no memory (since i took statistics senior year, biggest mistake of my life not because of transfer reasons or anything and do not comment on this parenthesis) of most of the basic Calculus and especially the stuff I never really understood. </p>
<p>I don't understand what you mean by unit maximums.</p>
<p>When you transfer in units form community college there is a maximum of 105 quarter units or 70 semester units- you can take other units to satisfy any preqs and they will transfer but you will not get unit credit for them toward graduation. If you had units from a 4 year university though when you apply with more than 70 units you can get auto rejected, but that doesnt apply to you. </p>
<p>Ok the problem with those two Math classes you took is that they WILL be calculated into your GPA. Even when you take them over, because it is a passing grade, those C's will still be calculated into your gpa. </p>
<p>So when you enter community college, your transferable GPA will start at 2.0 and you have to work up from that.</p>
<p>That isn't to say that you're screwed off the bat. You're likely to get some extra wiggle room because you were still in high school, but you will be applying with only your fall and summer grades in addition to those 2 Cs...</p>
<p>So back to the start of this thread- i would stress once again that in your case staying for the whole 2 years is best, and also you will want to take some easy courses to boost your gpa. Working your way up from C's is hard.</p>
<p>If those units are on your high school transcript, it's not a sure thing that you need to include them when you try to transfer. If I were you I would talk to your high school and make sure they are not counted in that way, if possible. It may be they can record them in or or two ways. You definitely don't want those Cs following you around., if you can avoid it.</p>
<p>Cheese sticks. This is bad. I am now being punished for taking calculus in high school and not trying. The very reason I didn't get accepted in the first place is now going to haunt me (3 C's in math). I am sure they'll have to give me a lot of wiggle room, I was thinking I'd go to a 4 year not a CC. Maybe it'll be a good thing because I'll think I have to get straight A's when I don't.
I believe that was a special program...CSUF @ at a high school or something like that, do you think there is any way (I just have no clue about this kind of stuff sorry) to cancel these grades (tell my teacher to change the grade to a non passing grade to a better grade or something)?</p>
<p>But yeah I should go with 3 semesters I think. I seriously still don't know much about community college. won't I have enough credits after 3 semesters? (4 courses per semester of 4 units x 3 = 48, then add these 12 summer units in three courses I will take, I guess this CSUF classes will be added in as well for a total of 17 classes)</p>
<p>With a special program like that, I bet you can opt out of the college credit aspect of it. You need to talk to your high school before your transcript becomes finalized.</p>
<p>So the math classes he took at CSUF will be calculated into his GPA? I'm sure AP classes in high school don't get calculated into your CC GPA though, right?</p>

<p>AP classes definitely don't, but this is a different situation, since it was supposed to be a "real" college course with "real" college credit. It's a sticky siutation I wish UCD Admissions would comment on this.</p>
